Review Summary

Strong professional lantern that allows full control of light source spill. Works with all bulbs 120-240v. Great for interviews and folds up small for traveling. Has some weight but light enough to hang off a boom stand with small weight on opposite end. Have used it for years. Important: Does not come with speedring, which is required for set up.

Although I have only tested the product, I can tell it will perform wonders during shoots. Well manufactured.

Chimera Pancake Lanterns features a flat-top design that allows the lightbank to be placed higher and closer to the ceiling. This maximizes placement options as well as limiting unwanted overhead bounce from the ceiling. Pancake Lanterns mount to any Chimera Speed Ring for Strobe or Video Pro lightbanks. Fixtures with a with beam angle or fully-exposed bulb/flash tube are recommended for proper illumination of the lantern.

The included skirt attaches to the Pancake Lantern to enable control over the light-spill. With adjustable zippers and velcro on all four sides, the skirt can be rolled up or down to vary light spread from an omnidirectional overhead source to a straight down-light.
